THE HEALTH Ministry has ordered the withdrawal of a batch of milk-based powdered infant formula from the market after routine inspections found traces of a potentially life-threatening bacterium.

Sanilac 1, produced and manufactured in Denmark for Greek foodstuffs company Jotis, was immediately withdrawn on Tuesday after the state lab found traces of Enterobacter sakazakii, a rare cause of invasive infection with high death rates in newborns, which is not in line with EU microbiological quality regulations.
